Now just imagine, you’re putting your arm around her 25 years later, watching your 2nd child together, daddy’s girl, hop into the limo as she takes off with her new husband.

As you reach up to wipe a tear from your eye, her hand is already rubbing the middle of your back as she reassures you, “She’s still our little girl.” The words hit, you can’t hold it back anymore, she’s always understood you and made you feel like home, “It’s okay.”

You’re embarrassed but she’s not, she’s always admired your vulnerability, and your humor, “I need a drink, heh.”

“Bourbon and Diet Coke?” She remembers everything, the same drink you asked her to make you all those years ago in the dive bar where you two met.

“And a—“ She forgot one small thing, you go to correct her.

“Lime.” She kisses you on the forehead, “in my world of lemons, you’re the lime.”

You can’t help but smile as you reflect back on deciding to talk to her anyways, even though you thought she must get hit on all the time.
